“This mix is packed to the gills with music. Easy gliders. Moody reggae. Inept freestyle. Drum machine jazz fusion. Unabashed bangers. And, as always, lots of vocals. Enjoy!” - @nickstropko

B.P.T. Radio 072: Nick Stropko

This RA Podcast is a celebration of all things Moodymann, and by extension, Detroit. The long-time DJ and producer Dez Andrés calls Moodymann his "big brother," and here pays tribute to the true expanse of Kenny Dixon Jr's music, from core house cuts to rambling funk jams to remixes of artists like Dua Lipa and Solomun, which really hammers home how important Moodymann is on dance music from across the world and across genres.

Andrés himself is also a legend. Active in Detroit since the '90s, he's a dance music Renaissance man, known for incredible hip-hop beats, disco and house, including massive hits like "New 4 U," one of the last decade's biggest dance music hits and RA's favourite track of 2012. His archive of records and mixes are essential listening for any house music or hip-hop fan, and he represents that distinct blend of influences and genres that defines Detroit—the same thing you can hear in this all-Moodymann mix.

Crafted something which felt really personal and dear to me. The Wabi Sabi effect is still there, so expect some imperfections but a lot of warmth.
